An Ordinary World

Ordinary - having no special characteristics, pertaining to the mundane and common.
We can scarcely call the lives we live ordinary, but what about the world we live in? It is ridiculous to ask the question from quantitative analysis perspective (and expect a real numerical answer.) The Omniverse is infinite, the universes it contains are infinite in quantity and in quality. Instead we should ask the question, "How orderly is our universe? or How chaotic is our universe?" It has been estimated that ~96% of our material universe is unaccounted for and ~96% of our DNA is also unaccounted for. We know so little about the world we live in today. The answers we search for are profound, however when we arrive at a sound conclusion, we may not understand its implications. Often we lack the correct questions to ask. It is my understanding (best guess) that the universe we live in is currently in a state which could be described as having a less than average degree of order. I do not think that our universe is overwhelmingly chaotic in nature, although the balance is tilted slightly in that direction. Our universe has a high degree of functionality - thus we exist! There are many "worlds" (universes) where the laws of physics are such that life cannot maintain itself as physical beings. Life or consciousness (I use them interchangeably) is always present in some form. Inside of a chaotic whirlwind of a universe consciousness may drift here and there as a disencorporate mind, engaged in an eternal dream. That floating mind may ask the same question, "How ordinary is my universe?" They may dream of strange objects, strange beings, strange universes where minds inhabit bodies and walk upon green grass. In the end it is a matter of perspective. One thing does seem astoundingly clear, this universe is not the most orderly universe that exists! I will leave you with a few questions: If you went to the most orderly universe, what do you think it would be like? Would it be more like a paradise or would it be more like a hell?
